UMHB Honors Program
About Honors
The Honors Program at UMHB offers students a chance to cultivate their intellectual curiosity and social awareness. The program encourages students to investigate relevant moral and ethical systems and to enhance aesthetic awareness. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the Honors Program also attempts to give students an understanding of the relationships that unite all scholarly disciplines.
The Honors Program encourages students to begin a lifelong journey of understanding who they are and what it means to live a good life. Perhaps the greatest benefit to the honors student is the chance to become a part of a larger community in which academic curiosity is seen as normal and necessary.
What They Are Saying About Honors:
- "I was in the honors program in high school, and when I came to UMHB I wanted to continue that because I knew it would help me to enhance my abilities in college. Being in the Honors Program has helped me to meet other students who share the same high academic expectations I do." --Amber Copeland, Upper Division Honors
- "I did not want to just coast through college, and I thought joining the Honors Program would be a good challenge. I met a great roommate and suitemates because I am living in the honors community housing, which really helped me to make the transition from high school to college a smooth one. Also, I have enjoyed being surrounded by other students who care about their schoolwork as much as I do." --Amy Patterson, Lower Division
